Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

After Week 1 saw defenses slow down rusty offenses, Week 2 had the offenses flipping the script. Offenses were scoring touchdowns and moving the ball with much more success. In Week 3, that trend is likely going to continue. Offenses are getting more in sync especially when it comes to quarterbacks. Several starting NFL quarterbacks […]

Week 3 Woos and Boos: Contrarian Lineup Decisions

Week 2 of fantasy football brought us yet another slate of games where unheralded players were rankings atop the leaderboards. Players like Raheem Mostert and Demarcus Robinson went from waiver wire pickups to heroes in a week. The savvy fantasy owner could see the plus matchups that these players had and plugged them into their […]

Week 3 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Our Week 2 bust headliner was Drew Brees. Boy did he disappoint, but it wasn't because of a poor performance, but rather a thumb injury that required surgery and at least six weeks of rest. Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will miss the rest of the season. Will JuJu Smith-Schuster be a season-long bust now? Injuries are […]

Denzel Ward Not Expected to Play; Upgrade Rams WRs

Cleveland Browns lockdown cornerback Denzel Ward (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Ward suffered a hamstring strain during practice this week and he is looking unlikely to take the field. Meanwhile, the team is more optimistic about rookie corner Greedy Williams (hamstring). If Ward is unable to […]

Jose Berrios Gives Up Five Runs to Royals

Minnesota Twins right-hander Jose Berrios struggled in a 12-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Saturday. Berrios allowed five runs over six innings while striking out five. It goes down as another disappointing second-half start for Berrios, who has not been as sharp as he was in the first half. He now has a […]

Well folks, we're approaching the final week of the 2019 MLB regular season, which means many of you are fighting for your lives in fantasy baseball championships.

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 26

This is the last week of the season. You may or may not be winning your leagues. You could be running away with the league or you might not be even close to challenging for the top spot. Regardless, never quit. You place in the standings is indicative of you and your discipline to see […]

The Cut List (Week 26) - Time to Let Go?

Here it is, the final week. With 96% of the season in the books, anyone can be considered droppable under the correct circumstances. Most obvious would be a situation where you have already hit a playing time cap and thus have no use for anyone who plays that position. Or if you are 15 home […]

Rashaad Penny Not Expected To Play In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) isn't expected to play against the Saints. Though the injury, which occurred during practice throughout the week, isn't considered severe, the team wants to be careful with its No. 2 back. In his stead, C.J. Prosise will back up Chris Carson on Sunday, with the former having relatively no […]

T.Y. Hilton May Be Available Against Atlanta

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quad) may play against the Falcons, with the final decision coming before opening kick. The veteran receiver managed to practice throughout the week, although in a limited capacity, but will still be considered a must-start in virtually all fantasy formats on Sunday.

Marlon Mack Game-Time Call On Sunday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (calf) is a game-time call against Atlanta. Mack returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday after not participating the previous two days. Nonetheless, the team remains hopeful that the 23-year-old is in uniform on Sunday and would be considered a must-start against a mediocre Falcons Defense. If […]

Alshon Jeffery May Play, Albeit In A Limited Role

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) may still play in Week 3 against Detroit, but chances are slim that he will get a full workload even if he does. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) already out, Nelson Agholor and tight end Zach Ertz are expected to pick up the slack.

LeSean McCoy Expected To Suit Up

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) is expected to be in uniform on Sunday against the Ravens. The veteran's status was iffy coming into this one, but after practicing in full on Friday, he should take over as the No. 1 option in Week 3, with Darwin Thompson coming in for relief. McCoy […]

Greg Olsen Likely To Play In Week 3

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is expected to go on Sunday against Arizona. Olsen has been dealing with the same issue for a few weeks, so his availability in Week 3 isn't much of a shock. The 34-year-old pulled in six receptions (nine targets) for 110 yards against the Buccaneers last Thursday and […]

Mark Andrews Expected To Play Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) is expected to play against Kansas City on Sunday. This isn't a surprise as the breakout candidate was dealing with the same issue before Week 2's showdown against the Arizona Cardinals but still managed to accumulate 112 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions. The 24-year-old has been […]

Mark Ingram An RB2 Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram has rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns through the first two weeks of the season. 104 of those yards and both touchdowns came in Week 1 against the Dolphins. Although his production in Week 2 was hampered, fantasy owners can expect to see him bounce back in a […]

Lamar Jackson Is A QB1 For Week 3

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson goes into Week 3 having thrown for 596 yards and seven touchdowns. The Ravens play in Kansas City Sunday in what will most likely be a high scoring shoot-out. The Chiefs Defense stands in the middle of the league in passing yards allowed (525) and has given up 36 points […]

Carlos Martinez Saves Saturday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez saved his 23rd game of the season on Saturday, locking down a 9-8 win over the Cubs. Martinez tossed a scoreless inning, walking a batter and striking out two. He needed just 16 pitches to deliver a win for the Cardinals. Martinez hasn't been perfect in his first season […]

John Gant Throws Two Pitches and Picks Up His 11th Win

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher John Gant earned his 11th win of the season on Saturday to improve to 11-1. He threw just two pitches, getting the only batter he faced out on his second pitch. Gant had some periods of being unhittable this season, but suffered through some less effective stretches as well. Overall, […]

Dakota Hudson Lasts Just Three Innings on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson only made it through three innings on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks. He struck out two and needed 62 pitches (30 balls, 32 strikes) to get just nine outs. Hudson has been solid and is among the league leaders in wins, but tonight […]

Brad Hand Reappears on Saturday

Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand tossed an inning on Saturday, his first appearance since September 9th. Hand has been unavailable due to a tired arm, but after MRI results came back clean, it was only a matter of time until he'd be back on the mound. Saturday's outing was a 13-pitch perfect inning where he […]

Essential Fantasy Football Running Back Handcuffs: Get 'Em Now

When James Conner left last Sunday’s game with a knee injury, his owners immediately consulted their league’s free-agent list to see if Jaylen Samuels was available. Damien Williams and LeSean McCoy were both uncertain for this week, and many Fantasy players put in waiver claims for Darwin Thompson, who was cut early in the season […]

Adam Thielen Remains On WR1/WR2 Borderline

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has seen his production capped by Kirk Cousins' rough start, though he secured 5-of-8 targets for 75 yards in Week 2. He has a golden opportunity to break out in Week 3's tilt as the Vikings will face the Raiders and their tissue-soft secondary at home. Thielen lines up […]

Stefon Diggs A Solid WR2 In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs is coming off a Week 2 performance where he caught just 1-of-7 targets, but the catch resulted in a 49-yard touchdown that saved his fantasy day. He had another touchdown called back in the contest. Diggs has been a victim of Cousins' erratic play and low passing volume, but […]
